Since today is a day of 40% chance of rain, it is good that the latest addition to my book collection arrived in today's mail.
It is Nixon Library: A President Comes Home.
Here's the description from the Nixon Foundation website:
From the rugged hills of early 20th century Yorba Linda, California to the pomp and circumstance of the White House Oval Office, experience every gallery and exhibit of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.
Located on the original site of the Nixon family’s Orange County farm, this national treasure vividly presents the rollercoaster life of America’s 37th president, a man whose towering legacy and long-lasting influence continue to impact every American. Stunning images of the interactive museum—and rare photographs from the White House and private Nixon family archives—leap off every page to show how a modest grocer’s son rose from the humblest of beginnings to dominate American life for decades as a congressman, senator, vice president, president and elder statesman.
Speaker Newt Gingrich said, “I wish every American could visit this Library”—and now you can.
The softcover book is 160 pages thick and is loaded with photographs. The price: $12.95.
